In an attempt to bring another shade of things outside the Japanese spectrum, I found myself wandering over to where else but the mighty RR, safe in the knowledge that there was bound to be at least a dozen items that would catch my eye. Of course, I was correct. I shall now share with you a select few things that I thought were pretty damn special, starting with this;

1940s Diamond T-truck w. 40ft Trailer on the ¼ Mile

That’s right, a truck & trailer running on the strip.  Not only is it epically cool just at that but the trailer unit is a portable American Diner!  …and the time it ran?  27seconds!   Sadly in my brief Google about it, I could find no more info, if you want to see the thread about it on RR, you can click this.

Another that almost instantly caught my eye was this…

Imagine being the lucky sod to stumble upon this little beast.  I’m sure after sitting that long there’ll be some issues but I would imagine they would be far outweighed by the magic of the car itself.  Check it out here.

I just love how this car is going from bog stock to what looks like it should have been factory and just slammed to all hell on some wide rims.  It’s in progress but has such huge potential for awesome I just had to include it.  Viewable here.

To wrap it up for this post, I’ll leave you with a bunch of pictures taken from this thread;
